Persona

Melodia is in 1532. She was raised in Ireland by her mother, but her father was a scotish captain. They never married. She left home at the age of 16 and joined her cousins ship to look for her father. She eventually found him but once he knew she was a Pirat... Privatier, he turned away from her. She vowed to make her life right and left her former life to become the person her father and herself would be proud of.
